Descaling
To ensure that your appliance continues to operate
correctly, it must be descaled regularly.
Descaling comprises a number of different steps. For
hygiene reasons, the descaling programme must be
run through completely before the appliance is ready
for operation again. In total, the descaling programme
runs for approx. 70–95
minutes.
■
Descale (approx. 55–70 minutes), then empty and
refill the water tank
■
First rinsing cycle (approx. 9–12 minutes), then
empty and refill the water tank
■
Second rinsing cycle (approx. 9–12 minutes), then
empty and dry the water tank
If descaling is interrupted (e.g. due to a power failure or
because the appliance is switched off), you will be
prompted to rinse the appliance twice when you switch
it back on. The appliance cannot be used until the
second rinsing cycle has finished.
The frequency with which the appliance must be
descaled depends on the hardness of the water used.
When only another five or fewer steam-assisted
operations are possible, the appliance reminds you to
descale it with a message on the display. The number
of remaining operations is displayed after the appliance
is switched on. You can therefore prepare for the
descaling in good time.
Starting
Caution!
■
Risk of damage to the appliance: Only use liquid
descalers recommended by us for the descaling
programme. The time the product needs to work
during descaling depends on the type of descaler
used. Other descalers may damage the appliance.

Descaling solution: Do not allow any descaling
solution or descaler to come into contact with the
control panel or other surfaces on the appliance.
This damages the surfaces. If this does happen,
remove the descaling solution immediately with
water.
If you have used a steam-assisted operation
immediately before descaling, you must first switch the
appliance off so that the residual water is pumped out
of the evaporator system.
